IMO - stock & super stock as we've known it (since the beginning) has long gone left the barn years ago.
Stockers now days are super stockers, and super stockers are now comp. cars...
and it's all the fault of nhra / ihra that they have allowed this bs to go on as long as they have.
When it comes right down to it, does it really matter anymore?.... All of these class cars are bogus and that's what the racers wanted.

You are touching on a subject that many don’t want to admit or swallow especially for those who are heavily vested in older combos.
Class racing like ALL other forms of motorsports be it SCAA, IMSA NASCAR you name it they (we) all continue to evolve. Remember where this all started? Win Sunday sell Monday. If there is going to be factory support which IMHO is necessary for survival of the sport the factories will want their stuff to have an edge otherwise why get involved. If you threw a couple hundred horsepower on one of the DP’s and it ended up way down the qualifying list what’s Joe average spectator (assuming we have any LOL) going to think? ….Challenger is a dog I want a new Mustang. I think Ford really got it right now with the mod motor K car. It will be fast and readily available to racers and the public. For those of you who think we will survive as a sport flogging our 30-50 year old muscle cars and expect the old cars to stay on top is wishful thinking.
